In the cave behind him, a large group of martial artists hesitated. They were eager to try, but they did not dare. Although there were many ancient martial art practitioners in the cave, there were no more than thirty of them who were at the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm. The remaining hundred or so were all at the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm.
There were some beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners who were confident in their extraordinary cultivation and had life-saving methods, so they dared to enter the river. However, most of the beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners did not have the guts to do so.
After all, not everyone was so unafraid of death after what had happened to them.
However, some of the beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners with low cultivation had also thought of a way to cross the underground river. That was to not fly in the air, but to walk on the surface of the underground river. With the help of the buoyancy of the surface, they could barely keep themselves from falling into the water.
With the help of the water, almost all the beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners could walk across the water.
However, this method was not without danger. On the contrary, it was very dangerous.
That was because the water in the underground river was so cold that it could freeze the Internal Qi in a warrior's body. Walking on the surface of the river would consume a terrifying amount of Internal Qi. Moreover, there were unknown water monsters in the underground river. If one was not careful, it was very likely that they would die in the mouth of the water monster.
This method allowed an ancient martial art practitioner in the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm to have a chance of crossing the underground river. If they were lucky, they might not even be injured. It was absolutely impossible for an early stage Golden Elixir realm martial art practitioner to fly through the air.
Most of the sects did not have intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners. However, many people were unwilling to give up on the treasure that was Luofeng Sect. After all, 600 years ago, Luofeng Sect had ruled over the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. At that time, even the Purple Qi Pavilion, which had a long history, could only submit to Luofeng Sect.
It was obvious how rich the treasures of such a colossus were. Otherwise, it would not have attracted so many cultivators.
Some sects that were unwilling to give up were willing to risk their lives to cross the underground river. Wang Qiangbiao, the sect master of Danhuan Sect, was one of those sects. However, Wang Qiangbiao's strength was far stronger than an ordinary early stage Gold Core cultivator. It was much easier.
Mo Wen flew in mid-air, neither fast nor slow, as though he was taking a leisurely stroll.
Those intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners all flew forward with their heads lowered. They flew as fast as they could, afraid that if they delayed for too long, they would not be able to hold on and risk falling into the underground river.
Even the few top experts with late Golden Elixir Realm cultivation would cross the river as soon as possible without delay. Therefore, he didn't have time to care about others. Hence, the people flying at the very front were naturally the top masters of Five Beasts Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion. Because Yin Banshuang's cultivation had broken through to the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir Realm, she was also in the lead.
As for Purple Qi Pavilion's Wu Feng, although his cultivation was not high enough, his talent was exceptional. Furthermore, he had Pavilion Leader Ye Rong's protection. He was very confident that he would be able to fly forward.
However, among all the people flying in the air, only Mo Wen was the exact opposite. Not only did he not fly across the underground river as fast as he could, but he also did not try to cross it. Instead, he was strolling leisurely in the air, as if he wasn't worried that the terrifying gravity would smash him into the underground river.
"Sect Leader Wang, do you need help?"
Mo Wen had his hands behind his back as he walked in mid-air. When he was free, he would look down at the surface of the river. Occasionally, he would call out to the ancient martial art practitioners who were walking on the river.
Mo Wen noticed Wang Qiangbiao in an instant. He smiled as he walked leisurely to the sky above Wang Qiangbiao.
Right now, Wang Qiangbiao was in a sorry state. His luck wasn't good. Along the way, he had been attacked by the water monsters a few times and had almost lost his life to them. Also, in his previous battle with Mo Wen, he had used up a lot of his Inner Qi. Even though he was the leader of a sect, he still found it hard to bear.
"It's you …"
Mo Wen's voice gave Wang Qiangbiao a fright. He hadn't expected that Mo Wen would be standing above him. Mo Wen's smiling gaze was looking at him, causing him to shiver uncontrollably. A bad feeling welled up in his heart.
Could it be that this youth was going to take the opportunity to attack and kill him?
Wang Qiangbiao's face turned pale with fright. With his current situation, any casual attack from Mo Wen could most likely kill him. He didn't have the ability to fly in mid-air. Once he fell into the water, it would be equivalent to sending himself to the mouth of the water monsters. He would die without a doubt.
"You … what do you want … to do …"
Wang Qiangbiao's entire body was tense. He felt his voice tremble. It was as though a person was standing on the edge of a cliff and there was a hand behind him, ready to push him off the cliff at any time.
"Gauging the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain."
Mo Wen smiled disdainfully. He ignored Wang Qiangbiao and continued to walk forward with leisurely steps. Before this, he hadn't killed Wang Qiangbiao. Now, he wouldn't hit him while he was down. If he wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have let him live until now.
"D * mn it!"
Wang Qiangbiao clenched his fists tightly. He felt a deep sense of humiliation. That disdainful gaze was like a needle, piercing into his heart. He was a sect leader of a large sect. When had he ever been mocked by a youth like this? The humiliation he had received today was more than he had in his entire life.
"I won't let you off …"
Wang Qiangbiao practically roared out these words from his throat. However, he didn't realize that he didn't dare to say it when Mo Wen was around. He only dared to say it when Mo Wen was far away. Deep in his heart, he already had a deep fear of Mo Wen.
Roar!
There was a beast's roar. A water monster leaped out from the water's surface. Its reflection shrouded Wang Qiangbiao's entire body in its shadow.
The appearance of the water monster was like a catfish. However, it had many horns. It was more than 20 meters long and as thick as a water tank. When it opened its bloody mouth, it could swallow a few people alive in one go.
Once the water monster leaped out of the water, it bit towards Wang Qiangbiao. As its body moved, it was like a bolt of lightning. It was shockingly fast. Even an ancient martial art practitioner in the Golden Elixir realm would not be able to dodge it if he wasn't careful.
Because Mo Wen had attracted Wang Qiangbiao's attention earlier, he hadn't observed his surroundings. Only now did he realize that he was actually surrounded by a few water monsters.
In an instant, his face turned green. His mind didn't have many thoughts. He instinctively dodged.
Although his reaction was fast, he was still a little too slow. The long fin of the water monster slashed across his body, creating a large wound on his chest. Blood spurted out and dyed the river red.
"It's poisonous!"
Wang Qiangbiao's expression changed dramatically as he stared at the terrifying water monster in horror. A layer of blue ice had formed around the wound on his chest, and green smoke was constantly emitting from the ice. His flesh and blood were dyed green, and the smoke was constantly spreading.
Furthermore, he realized that his body couldn't move. It was as though he had been injected with anesthetic. His brain was increasingly unable to control his numb body.
Splash!
Wang Qiangbiao's body was like a piece of wood, falling directly into the water. Once he entered the water, the few water monsters that had been waiting around for a long time immediately pounced on him.
"No …"
Wang Qiangbiao let out a hysterical roar. Then, there was no sound at all. There were only gurgling bubbles and blood gushing out from the water's surface.
In the distance, Mo Wen's expression was a little stunned. Although he didn't turn his head, his terrifying soul power had been paying attention to everything around him. He had also heard what Wang Qiangbiao had said just now.
However, he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Wang Qiangbiao would die.
Truthfully speaking, Mo Wen had no intention of harming Wang Qiangbiao. To deal with Wang Qiangbiao, he disdained using such methods. However, unexpectedly, Wang Qiangbiao's luck was too bad and he had died by a freak combination of factors.
Mo Wen ignored him and continued flying forward.
Because he could use the esoteric meaning of the Glory of Wind to disperse and neutralize the gravity, he was not in a hurry to fly. Hence, among all the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners, he was the last person to reach the other side.
Right now, there were more than 30 people standing on the other side of the underground river. More than half of them were ancient martial art practitioners from the eight major factions. There was also a small portion of them who were famous strong practitioners in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Adding all of them together, there were only 36 people. There were about 20 intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm cultivators among them. On the other hand, there were only a dozen beginning stage Golden Elixir realm cultivators.
After all, beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners who could reach the other side of the underground river so quickly were definitely rarer than intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners.
Among these people, Mo Wen recognized a few familiar faces at a glance.
"Mo Wen, how have you been?"
Yin Banshuang saw Mo Wen flying over and walked over with a smile, taking the initiative to greet him.
"Yin Banshuang, I see you everywhere."
Mo Wen landed on the ground from the air with his hands behind his back. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He had naturally seen Yin Banshuang earlier. However, he had been provoked repeatedly, so he had not had the chance to greet her.
"You mean that you don't want to meet me?"
"Of course I do. Why wouldn't I? Seeing a beautiful woman is always more pleasant than seeing an old man."
Mo Wen nodded at Yin Banshuang. Then, he walked over to where Chen Wuhui and Chen Zikuang were. He did not appear to be familiar with them.
Yin Banshuang glanced at Mo Wen. She did not mind. The two of them did not have much of a relationship to begin with. Previously, they had only been working together. It was hard to say whether they would be friends or enemies in the future.
However, Yin Banshuang's actions made many people speculate that this mysterious youth had some relationship with Yin Banshuang, or perhaps with the Five Beasts Sect.
A strange look flashed in the eyes of Jiang Jingtao, who was standing nearby. He looked at Mo Wen, then at Yin Banshuang. Then, he looked at the Tiger Palace Hall Leader, Bu Zhangkun, with a serious look of inquiry. However, after not getting a response from Bu Zhangkun for a long time, he coldly snorted and his expression darkened.
A playful look flashed in the eyes of Pavilion Leader Ye Rong of the Purple Qi Pavilion. She already knew that this youth had some relationship with Yin Banshuang. Previously, the two of them had been traveling together, so she was not surprised. However, she was very curious about the background of this youth. Why was he so close to the Intentionless Sect? He also seemed to have some relationship with the Five Beasts Sect.
It could be said that after Mo Wen appeared, everyone's gazes were focused on him. That was because Mo Wen's previous performance was too shocking. It was almost equivalent to a later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. There were most likely not many ancient martial art practitioners of this level in the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
"Now, I understand why the Intentionless Sect, which is getting weaker by the day, could defeat the Sacred Flame Sect and even kill the two sect leaders of the Sacred Flame Sect on the spot. As expected, heroes come from the youth. This is also the first time I have seen such a youth strong practitioner. "
On the other side, there was a group of people. The leader was an old man dressed in white. His gaze was fixed on Mo Wen. Although his voice was neither fast nor slow and he was calm, his gaze was unfriendly. (To be continued.)
